The Supernova V.3 LED headlight bulbs are an upgrade over the V.2. This new version 3 still features the flexible heat sink designed for fitting in tight spaces but has the new Philips Lumileds ZES chipset that better mimics the original halogen filament bulb. This means better light output and a better beam pattern. The V3 will produce 2 times the amount of light intensity than the V2 did.

Wanted to get some better light from my classic Mini without stressing the tiny alternator or changing the look of the car too drastically. Installed these into some Carello H4 headlamps the car had and there were only a few mods to be made. First and most time consuming was fabricating a bulb holder since the standard H4 mounting ring would not w

ork on the LED. I used a 7/8" ID washer that, with some cutting an filing made a u-shaped spacer to hold the lam in place. Some small mounting tabs from another application, screwed in with Lock Tite hold the lamp in the correct spot. Next was the rubber dust cover that needed to be opened slightly to allow the cover to be pulled over the bulb and onto the original Carello mounting ring - there was enough room for some clearance around the heat sink base and the flexible sink was splayed out behind it. The final bit to install was the LED control box. Because of the limited cabling on the Supernova V.3 I had to find space inside the headlamp bucket. With the standard English car spec 7" lamp installation, there is a mounting ring that sits inside the bucket that the lamp sits in and the finishing ring is screwed onto. The mounting needed a 1.5" x 2" piece removed from the inside edge of the ring to allow clearance for the control box to be screwed onto the bucket and not affect the mounting or function of the lamp. Finally the wiring from the original headlamp plug was removed from the plastic socket and wired direct to the Supernova headlamp plug, since there was no room for both together. Some heat shrink and tape sealed that up. Lamps worked fine, just as expected. Light output was greater, albeit with the modern look of 6000K instead of the 2800K look of tungsten with (possibly) poor grounding. I like this solution better than the bug-eyed look of 7" LED replacements that I feel are out of place on some cars. Read Less

Vision X 5.75" headlight

Really easy install once the stock light was removed. The light OD is not 5.75" though so it leaves a larger gap between the housing and the light more than stock. Light measures closer to 5.6". Minor rerouting of some wiring harnesses to fit the light but that's it. Brightness is impressive. I'm no longer scared of creaming small game while out r
